Ant colony simulation


Root  Previous item  Next item

Experimental application that serves as a framework for a so called 'intelligent agent system'. In this case the agents represent ants. Every agent is affected by his environment and also has the power to affect it in return. Agents can not yet communicate directly with each other.

The agents attempt to find food and carry it back home again. By leaving scent trails, ants can find food faster and loaded ants can find their way home faster. Practically all settings are adjustable while the simulation is running, which makes for nice late hours. Both the source code and a compiled exe are available for download. In order to run the application unzip all files into one folder.
